Chapter 1897 Necessary Adjustments (Part 1)

"How did it go?" Selia asked, biting her lower lip in excitement. "Did you take a ride on the Dragon or…"

"No, yesterday was the Tiamat's turn. The Dragon is not human enough for my taste and the Abomination lacks the fun parts." Kamila replied, making Lith inwardly scream.

"Excellent choice. Always starts from what you are familiar with and then go with the flow." Selia said. "I envy you so much. One husband, four bodies. You are not going to get bored any soon, that's for sure."

"You think?" Kamila asked.

"I speak from experience. At first, you keep things as human-like as you can, then you start exploring. After a while, in for a penny, in for a pounding I say [AN: freely translated from kinky Mogarian]."

"You can always change your mind about the Dragon. As for the Abomination, I wouldn't worry too much. There's still the bright violet. Maybe it just needs-"

Lith's scream turned from internal to external as he ran out of the house and away until he couldn't hear them talking anymore.

"By the Great Mother." He said while splashing some cold water on his face to calm down. "If I ever had a shred of innocence left, today is the day I lost it for good."

Griffon Kingdom, at the same time.

The news of Lith's escape to the Blood Desert had spread like wildfire throughout the Kingdom and more kept coming every day.

Rumors had that the Divine Beast Archmage had become even stronger. That a woman had defected the Kingdom to marry him. That Salaark had recognized him as her son and wanted to share the throne of the Desert with him if Lith had an heir.

The Royals and everyone else had a hard time discerning the truth from exaggeration, but knowing Salaark, all of the above was quite possible. After receiving the package announcing Lith's wedding, the ambassadors and even Jirni had their access to the Desert revoked.

There was no way to confirm or deny any of those rumors and asking their spies to investigate gossip would have been a waste of resources. Something they couldn't afford with the current state of the War of the Griffons.

The Council had resolved to help the Royals in battle and things were going much better, but Thrud kept advancing. Her troops were immortal and fought until turned into shreds whereas the Awakened cared a lot about their lives and preferred to retreat to fight another day than die.

"We need to take out the Golden Griffon or this war will never end." Meron said to Raagu.

The Council and the Royal Court were assembled in Valeron's War Room to plan their next course of action. The good thing about their new allies was that thanks to the Awakened's help, the Royals had uprooted all the Thralls in the palace, leaving Orpal no spies.

"Yeah, that's why it was a terrible move to drive Verhen away." The human representative snarled. "It takes the whole Council to take down a single lost city and he destroyed two by himself.

"On top of that, the Golden Griffon is nothing like the other lost cities. It moves, defends itself, and is heavily guarded."

"Verhen's banishment wasn't part of our plan!" Sylpha snarled. "More importantly, why didn't you ask him how he destroys lost cities? Didn't Verhen share his secrets with you?"

"Why would he do that?" Every mage in the room looked at the Queen like a madwoman.
